Video assistant referee (VAR) was required to sanction the infringement. With a penalty converted by Mikel Oyarzabal in the dying moments of the match, Real Sociedad repeated the 1-0 dose to Athletic Bilbao and secured their place in the Copa del Rey final, where they will face Atlético de Madrid. In the first leg, played at San Mamés, the Txuri-urdin team had also won by the narrowest of margins. The advantage at their Anoeta fortress was enough to secure a final berth, but Real Sociedad made sure of it with another victory. This was made possible by a controversial foul by Íñigo Ruiz on Yangel Herrera in the penalty area during a corner kick.
